pleXity a friend consented to give him a
seat in his gig and they might overtake
her. The medicine mans anxiety was
wrought to the highest pitch and told
the driver to spare not the horse, only

fire was discovered shortly after twelve

alarm, but the fire had gained such head

one after the other. Two thirds of the
walls are still standug, but some OF them

the SnIuke-stack. The engine is totally
wrecked, and 80 are about one third OF
the dryers. The insurance. distributed
among twenty companies, amounts to

were erected in 1850, was between $iO,-
